Lumberin’ down the road, sun goin' down, stop and rest for the night. Travel worn and I’m growin’ weary; energy spent, so I’m pitchin’ my tent.
Journey on the highway. Though the road is long, still I rise everyday, pressin’ on. New power comin’ my way. Never stop too long. Come the mornin’ light I’ll be gone. Gotta move it along. Journey on.
Stretchin’ out by the fire under the stars, glad I made it this far. Passin’ dangers and rocks and thorns I didn't expect, and I wonder what’s next.
Journey on the highway. Though the road is long, still I rise everyday, pressin’ on. New power comin’ my way. Never stop too long. Come the mornin’ light I’ll be gone. Gotta move it along.
And when I see, in the starlight on my knees, all the weakness here in me, then the word my Father speaks will strengthen me. And then I know the rugged highway’s where I grow. Let the chilly night air blow, but I’ll never take my eyes off of my goal. Journey on.

Lyrics & Music by Mark Caplan
Elevated sun. Blind illusions run. Now unveil my eyes. Open soul.
We are reaching above the boundary. We are leaping the great divide. Leaving the land of prisoners. Nevermore hide. Soul to glide.
Surging rays reveal mysteries concealed. Thrill of wonders known. Climbing soul.
We are reaching above the boundary. We are leaping the great divide. Leaving the land of prisoners. Nevermore hide. Soul to glide.
Whisper to the thunder. Glide into the source.
Eden’s rivers flow. Glory’s healing glow. Restoration stream. Lightened soul.
We are reaching above the boundary. We are leaping the great divide. Leaving the land of prisoners. Nevermore hide. We are reaching above the boundary. We are leaping the great divide. Leaving the land of prisoners. Nevermore hide. Soul to glide.

Lyrics by Mark Caplan. Music by Mark Caplan, Dave Corsello, Anthony Cucchiara, Phil Long
He walked along the dusty road, the people came, the message (compassion) flowed, and He brought them news of heaven’s land. The Word of God became a Man. A miracle with fish and bread; He raised a man who once was dead. And He turned some water into wine. And lovingly restored the blind.
He is the One calling you to come, following in the way of the Master.
Eluding all His enemies, He railed against hypocrisy, but He brought the children to His side. He felt our pain. He bled. He cried. He walked upon the ragin’ sea. Sometimes I feel like He’s callin’ me to step out upon the stormy waves, discover that He really saves.
He is the One calling you to come, following in the way of the Master.
More than a tale about a man! Creator God walked through our land, only to feel the pain of every time I trampled on His Name. Still, He came.
The ones who used to call Him friend, they left Him lonely in the end, but they found that He forgave their fear. Beyond the grave He brought them near. And now the times my heart will stray, so tenderly He restores my way. And He sees me when I fall apart, and holds me in His gracious heart.
He is the One calling you to come, following in the way of the Master.
More than a tale about a man! Creator God walks through our land, walking within the heart of anyone who calls upon His Name. He’s still the same.
He walked along the dusty road, the people came, the message (compassion) flowed, and He brought them news of heaven’s land. The Word of God became a Man.

Lyrics & Music by Mark Caplan
And what will you say to a love so amazing that death couldn’t keep it away?
Peals of thunder, pouring rain, violent wind, so suddenly it came. Down the wood the water runs. Watch and tremble at the river of love.
Running down His wounded frame, stripes upon the silhouette of pain. Blood and water mix as one. Scarlet river, it’s the river of love.
Here at the cross I discover the crimson stream, where my spirit is healed and my soul made clean. So I come now to wash in the river sent from above, to the river of love.
Wondering, I stand amazed; feel my stone heart softened by His gaze. Has Messiah truly come? Here’s my answer, at the river of love.
Here at the cross I discover the crimson stream, where my spirit is healed and my soul made clean. So I come now to wash in the river sent from above, to the river of love.
And what will you say to a love so amazing that death couldn’t keep it away? It surges ahead, and its banks overflow, reaching every desolate place.
And I can see that, in spite of His agony, there’s a look in His eye that says “Trust in Me.” And the guilt that I’ve carried is washed away in the flood. Oh, and what a joy to discover the crimson stream, where my spirit is healed and my soul made clean. So again I will wash in the river sent from above, it’s the river of love.
Come to the river! Wash in the river! Won’t you come to the river of love? To the river of love … to the river of love … to the river of love … to the river of love.

Room 306 in Memphis, 4th of April, Nineteen Sixty-Eight
On the south side of Chicago Katie’s smile could light the city. She rode the “L” up to the north side, cleaning homes to make ends meet. And her soul was full of kindness, though she shared her people’s burden, with the war to fight injustice incomplete.
Meanwhile, down in Memphis …
He stepped out onto the terrace, by the railing, dressed for dinner, with his brothers in the struggle back to back and side by side. Nothin’ more that he could offer to the workin’ man of Memphis than to keep their dream alive and march in peace.
Then a bullet ripped the silence, took the dreamer down by violence. Room 306 in Memphis, 4th of April, Nineteen Sixty-Eight.
On the day that Martin left us, Katie cried. When the dreamer went down a part of her died. So much left undone for all the years that he tried. Her tears of pain spoke out, “Who’ll fill the void, who’s gonna carry the fight?”
From the mountaintop he told us that he had seen the glory, and he left us with a promise that we would see the dream. Not afraid of any man’s darkness, he cried out with blessed assurance, “Comes a day you will possess the promised land.” Somehow he knew we could get to the promised land!
On the day that Martin left us, Katie cried. When the dreamer went down a part of her died. But her hero, he goes on marchin’ on the other side. And the courage of the prophet, and his dream, still march alongside. And truth will overcome, and freedom’s ring will not be denied.
Oh, a bullet ripped the silence, tore our souls apart by violence. Room 306 in Memphis, 4th of April, Nineteen Sixty-Eight.
Room 306 in Memphis, 4th of April, Nineteen Sixty-Eight

Lyrics and Music by Mark Caplan
All of me, all for You, no longer to withhold.
All of me, all for You, reserved for You alone.
I hide, broken inside, longing to be renewed, transformed, to give
All of me, all for You, I seek, I reach, I strive.
I climb, falter and slide, cling to the rock, I rest, I yield, giving
All of me, all for You, I come just as I am.
Refine heart, soul and mind.
Beckoning into the light, You conquer within, mercy's healing to begin.
Never looking back for You now have
All of me, all for You, my strength, my life, my love, my love.

Lyrics & Music by Mark Caplan
Now and again, disguised as a friend, pretendin' to know what's good for you,
The sound of his lie says, "Go ahead and try. It's not gonna hurt you if you do."
But that's the time to hold the line, and be strong in the battle of your mind.
Crafty and cool, deception's his tool. Just complicating what God said.
Remember the Word, all the truth that you've heard. Be a warrior in your head.
No better weapon will you find. So rise up in the battle of your mind.
Don't have no conversation, don't be talkin' with temptation.
Gotta leave the clever reasoning behind.
'Cuz rejection of those questions whose intentions are to undermine
Is how you'll win the battle of your mind.
So don't believe the lie, growin' like a bitter root.
All those twisted branches grow is rotten fruit.
Lookin' back you'll see a legacy of pain
From just one time when a mind is lead astray.
So don't have no conversation, don't be talkin' with temptation.
You gotta leave the clever reasoning behind.
'Cuz rejection of those questions whose intentions are to undermine
Is how you'll win the battle of your mind.
So don't have no conversation, don't be talkin' with temptation.
Gotta leave the clever reasoning behind.
'Cuz rejection of those questions whose intentions are to undermine
Is how you'll win the battle. Rise up and face the battle.
You've got to win the battle of your mind.

Why do I shake my fist at You?
Stompin' and wailin' never seem to do no good.
I' been complainin' like a fool.
But nothin's changed so far, so why is it so hard to put my hand down, hand down, hand down?
When I got knocked off of my feet
Had to get up and try to walk this lonely street,
Stuck in a life left incomplete.
Since that day she said goodbye it's so hard to even try to put my hand down, hand down, hand down.
Is it all about me? Maybe I'm too angry to see.
Is it all about You provin' everything You can do?
Is it all about trust? Do You think I could just let go of these questions in my soul? You can't just leave me out in the cold.
Pointin' my finger feeds my pain.
Are You testin' my faith, or is it all a cruel game?
Still clenchin' my fist, I feel the shame.
If You can hear my cry then why, oh why can't I puy my hand down, hand down, hand down ... put hand down.
Why is it so hard to put my hand down?
Always so hard.
Why has it got to be so hard to put my hand down?
Always so hard.

Lyrics and Music by Mark Caplan
When I cry, when the tears come flowin' from my eyes,
I turn to You and try to open up and let my spirit rise.
But it's hard to bear, and the words aren't there, please just
Let every tear be a prayer to You,
When I'm hurtin' Lord, when words won't come through.
Let every tear be a prayer to You.
I know You're knowin' when troubles are growin',
And you understand. You take my hand.
Oh please let every tear be a prayer.
Still you say that You're gonna wash the tears away.
So I'm lookin' as I pray to the comfort of a brand new day.
But for now it's real, all the pain I feel.
So please
Let every tear be a prayer to You,
When I'm hurtin' Lord, when words won't come through.
Let every tear be a prayer to You.
I know You're knowin' when troubles are growin',
And you understand. You take my hand.
Oh please let every tear be a prayer.
And I know it's time to walk, so I'm brushin' off my knees.
Step by step I'm pressing on.
Still, my heart keeps cryin' please, oh God,
Let every tear be a prayer to You,
When I'm hurtin' Lord, when words won't come through.
Let every tear be a prayer to You.
I know You're knowin' when troubles are growin',
And you understand. You take my hand.
Oh please let every tear be a prayer.

Lyrics and Music by Mark Caplan
Strivin' along the road you're after, lonely masquerade.
Hidin' behind the hollow laughter, actin' like your
Time has come, your prize is won.
Will you ever find your way?
Now you're gettin' ahead, and you don't need no lesson, you made it on your own.
With riches that lie, you'll never rest in. Can't you see
Although you run, your time has come.
Will you ever find your way?
In the stillness, hear the call. Listen as the showers fall.
Narrow is the way. Got to find a way
Through the rain, through the rain.
All you achieve, but still the pain of emptiness inside.
Nothing you do can win the game of happiness so
Why still run? Your time has come.
Will you ever find your way?
Hear the voice of wisdom cry, piercing through a darkened sky,
Showing you the way. You can find a way
Through the rain, through the rain.
Only believe the simple answer, pure amazing love.
Spirit of God will cleanse the cancer, leading you
No more to run, your time has come.
For there is no other way.
And now it's up to you, you know it's true.
Will you ever find your way?
Will you ever find your way?
Will you ever find your way?
Find your way.

Leaves are fallin', sun risin', tides a-rollin' in, then the moon is full.
Trees are growin', weeds clutter, flowers bloomin', earth is so beautiful.
And Your word has spoken it to be, but still You look at me, and smile Your love on me.
And I'm seein' birds are singin', fish swimmin', cattle grazin', oh yes, my eyes have seen.
I look around and I see squirrels runnin', birds flyin', dogs are playin', oh, it amazes me
That Your word has spoken it to be, but still You look at me, and smile Your love on me, sweet Jesus on me.
Lord, Your love comforts me from above, and I know I am precious in Your sight.
The breath of life You breathe. Your Spirit I receive.
Oh, speak the word and let there be light.
Let there be light.
Leaves are fallin', sun risin', tides a-rollin' in, then the moon is full.
Trees are growin', weeds clutter, flowers bloomin', earth is so beautiful.
And I'm seein' birds are singin', fish swimmin', cattle grazin', oh yes, my eyes have seen.
I look around and I see squirrels runnin', birds flyin', dogs are playin', oh, it amazes me
That Your word has spoken it to be, but still You look at me, and smile Your love on me.
Birds are singin', sun risin', flowers bloomin', and You
Smile Your love on me,

Come over me, living water.
Pour your life everywhere you go.
Come over me like a river.
Satisfy, purify my soul.
Let me feel the cares, the fears, the worries
Melt away in the sweetness of your flow.
A cleansing stream full of power
To bring healing and make me grow.
Come over me, living water.
Pour your life everywhere you go.
Come over me, over me like a river.
Satisfy, purify my soul.
From the throne of glory, saturate me,
As the currents of mercy overflow.
And I will drink life forever,
As you fill and refresh my soul.
Let me feel the cares, the fears, the worries
Melt away in the sweetness of your flow.
And I will drink life forever, as you fill and refresh my soul.
Won't you fill and refresh my soul?
Come and fill and refresh my soul, my soul.
